A broken heart backdrop, gold corsetry, and thigh-high attitude — Dua Lipa’s concert outfit ignites tour style with unapologetic edge (and a kiss to the crowd).
Dua Lipa doesn’t just perform — she stages a visual manifesto. On Night 2 of her Radical Optimism Tour at Madison Square Garden, she stepped into the spotlight in a gold corset ensemble that fused pop spectacle with dominatrix precision.
The look? A sculpted bodysuit in high-shine metallic gold, cinched at the waist and cut high at the hip — a silhouette that evokes Mugler’s archival power pieces and Beyoncé’s I Am… tour armor. Paired with matching knee-high boots and fishnet stockings, the outfit is pure performance fashion: bold, body-conscious, and built for movement.
Accessories are minimal, letting the outfit and attitude do the talking. Her microphone becomes an extension of the look — a prop, a weapon, a wand. No visible jewelry, no distractions. Just Dua, center stage, framed by a glowing red backdrop and a fractured heart graphic that feels more punk opera than pop concert.
Her pose — mid-kiss to the crowd — is theatrical, playful, and commanding. The lighting bathes her in crimson, amplifying the drama. It’s a spotlight moment that feels choreographed and spontaneous all at once.
Culturally, the look taps into the lineage of tour style as armor — think Madonna’s Gaultier cone bra, Lady Gaga’s Fame Monster latex, or Rosalía’s flamenco-meets-motorcross hybrids. But Dua’s twist is cleaner, more sculptural — less costume, more couture.
Hair is sleek, makeup bold — likely a smoky eye and contoured cheek to hold under stage lights. The styling cohesion is tight, editorial, and unapologetically pop.
